The frequent requests for information of the import-

Turner Co. of Edmonton, to prepare a new map. of the 


Irma Oil Field including the important districts tribu-| 


tary to Irma including Baxter Lake, Wainwright, Fab- 


yan, Viking, Birch Lake, Manville and Vermilion. This) 


area covers Townships 44 to 51 Ranges 5 to 12 west of 
the 4th Meridian and includes over 2,300 square miles 


of land about half of which has been pronounced by lead-

Between the cold weather and holi- 
days very little ‘progress has been 


| east of Irma the last two weeks. The 
| drill is below the 1,800 foot level and 
| work will be resumed to-day. Indica-

to registered seed grain sent in by 
farmers ‘to the plant at Edmonton.

jin the rma district Mr. Allison was

That he has made. good in the new |

.. Big Companies Inferested 


For some years the large companies have been gradual- 
ly acquiring large holdings. This map shows that the Im- 
perial Oil Company hold over forty thousand acres, most 
of which is tributary to Irma.: No doubt they control 
other tracts that are not shown on the map. The Talpey 
Arnold Co. which is reported to be closely:affiliated with 
the Union Oil Co. of California and Dutch Shell, hold 
over 35,000 acres extending from north of Ranfurly and 
Innisfree to east of Fabyan but centering around Birch 
Lake at which point they have been working on one well 

_. for over two years. The Northern Alberta Gas Co. con- 
trol: practically all of the leases in six townships North- 
west of Irma and extending to Viking. Some eight 
commercial gas wells have been drilled on these leases, 
which were originally reserved for the city of Edmonton

| partment of Agriculture, by Hon. Geo. 
; Hoadley. It is also announced by 
; Dean Howes of the Agricultural Col- 
dpe at the University, that no more 
|seed testing for farmers will be done 
there. ‘For some time it has been the 
| custom to test samples of seed sent 
|in by farmers at the Schools of Agri- 
/culture and at the College, but these

by farmers to the Dominion Seed 


| Mr. Allison is procuring is a lighter 
| type rotary than the one used at’ Fab- 
‘yan and can .be more easily moved 
ifrom* one location to another. Mr. 
Allison states that .in his opinion the 
| oil will be found in folds or small anti- 
jclines in different parts of the ter- 
irace structure. To find these folds 
ihe thinks it will not be necessary to 
j drill more than from seven to nine 
| hundred feet. In all the wells so far 
la very heavy cap rock has been found 
lunder which he thinks the formation 
will be uniform. By locating the lev- 
el of this cap rock in several places 
and selecting the point between the 
highest and the lowest elevation on 
which to drill a deep well, oil should 
be fould without encountering either 
a too Heavy gas or water pressure. 
This cap rock has been found’to be

Again, 


Any consideration of a sound and permanent immieration and settlement 
policy for Canada which does not at the outset take these, at present, unsuc- 
cessful settlers into consideration is not a sound nor complete policy because 
it would overlook the basic idea on which suce essful settlement must. rest.

ae Auistiata’s Poet Dies Penniless 


People Recognized His Genius Wheny 


“It Was Too Late 

They gave Ilenry Hertzberg Law- 
son, the Australian poet and novelist, 
a state funeral in Sydney. Des- 
patches described it as an “imposing 
affair, fitting the occasion of the 
laying away of the nation’s sweet 
singer,” and there was due applause 
from the world at large for this 
splendid recognition of a _ poét's 
worth—when he was dead. 

While he was alive, however, 
Poet Lawson didnot fare so well. 
“Australla’s greatest minfstrel,” as he 
was called at the time of the funeral], 
died penniless, Indeed, if it had not 
been for the public funeral under 
Government auspices he would have 


been buried as a pauper. ,He had 
been In receipt of a small pension 
from the Government for some time 


before his death, and this should be} 


ascribed to the State of New South 
Wales with proper appreciation, ‘for 
was It not virtually a pioneer in the 
| sracious act of pensioning a poet? 
Still, Lawson lived in poverty. The 
people did not realize that they had a 
| genius in their country until he was 
laid away with “funeral trappings” be- 


| fitting Government ‘recognition. Then 
they began to’ buy his books. 

Poor as he was,’ Poet Lawson 
left a will. All his worldly  belong- 
Ings were mentioned in bequests. 
These were: Two. suits of clothes, 
an overcoat, a necktie, a collar stud, 


n, a pipe, a tin matchbox, a pair 


lof spectacles, aw alking stick, and two 


packets: of tobacco.

Canadian Business Men Aad

*A-rocent issue ofjthe Canadian Man- 
ufacturer contains an article whieh is 
of particular inverest to every Cana 
cian’ business man. The. easterner 
who has not seén the west and the 
Westerner who has not seen the easi 
are working under a severe handicap. 

That the Montreal business men are 
heenly aware of this fact is indicated 
in the recent tour of the Montreal 
Board of, Trade to the west, who had, 
as thetr guéstS a number of British in- 
dustrial men, members of Parliament 
and financiers. Knowledge is power, 
and the soundest knowledge is” 
which is obtained directly by onesell | 
on the ground, heard with one’s own! 
ears and seen With one’s own eyes. 


It is an extraordinary thing—neyver- | 
theless a fact—that there are in the! 
edst generally many prominent busi- | 
ness men who, year after year, do! 
business with the west, yet who have | 
never personally vistied it. They 
make frequent trips to Europe and to}, 
the United States, but when it comes | 
to personally visiting the western sec 
tion of their own country, they ‘pass 
it” up in favor of some other trip: The | 
United Siates slogan “See American | 
First” might well be adapted to “See 
Canada: First’ by those business men | 
who can, if they will, see more of their | 
own country. The article referred to] 
is as follows: | 

If you would build up ow 
business, you; should) know Canada:, 
you should understand the difference 
in the viewpoints of the

are great indeed and the diversity of

pect of the matter, however, Canada 
offers to the tourist a wealth of places 
worth seeing: ue 
‘The beauties of the Pacific coast

RECONSTRUCTION IN THE 
DAIRY INDUSTRY 


When government grading of cream 


was established in Alberta last May, 
following the elimination of the cream 


~buying stations by legislation, claims 


were made for the new system which | 
even some of its friends beliey red were | 
somewhat optimistic. ; 

It is now the close of the year, ant | 


‘the experience of a little more than 


six months has more than justified the 
claims that were made for the new 
system. Much of what was hoped | 
would be accomplished in a year has 
been accomplished in half of that time, | 
and figures have been presented to the 


commissioner which prove conclusive: | 
ly ‘that direct returns to the producer | 
have been much greater. than 
pated.

the almanac says that Dec. 2ist.was

“Can you tell me what sort of 
weather we may expect next month?” 
wrote a farmer to the editor of his 
home paper, and he replied as fol- 
lows: “It is my belief that the weath-

your subscription bill.” The farmer 
wondered for an hour:what' the editor

A German policeman has just finish-

Japanese method of self-protection, to 
guardians of the public order in Spain. 

Herr Wozny of the Berlin criminal

reputation in Berlin as a police in-

the Spanish authorities. His com- 
mission included the development of 
police jiu-jitsu teachers at Barcelona

Constipation .is caused by a 
torpid condition of the liver. Dos- 
ing with salts, castor oil, etc., to 
move the bowels, cannot afford 
more than temporary relief. 


If you are to rid yourself of 
this ailment and the scores of an- 
noying symptoms. and diseases 
which come in its wake, it is 
necessary to get the liver right by 
such treatment as js suggested in 
this letter: 

Mrs. Alvin Richards, R. R. 
No. |, Seeley’s Bay, Ont., writes: 

“For two years I was afflicted with 
indigestion, and in the morning when I 
got up my breath was bad; I had a 
poor appetite, and just felt like eating 
certain foods, I used’ many different 
medicines as a laxative. without benefit, 
and the doctor's medicine did not help 
me at all, Finally I tried: Dr. Chase's 
Kidney-Liver Pills, and found them bet- 
ter than anything I had ever tried, I 
can highly recommend them to any- 
one troubled with constipation or kid-

XPERIENCE isa great teacher— 
sometimes. But it is to be remem- 
bered that you may take a horse to 
water, but cannot always make him 
‘drink. Similarly, you may drop a 
succession of bricks on or-about the 
head of a man suffering from a habit 
of walking under ladders,’ but if he 
bas in his head no mental mechanism 
eof the kind that puts cause and effect’ 
together, you will still have difficulty 
in making him realize that “walking 
under ladders is‘by no means condu- 
eive to normal health or Jong life. 
The same thing may be said of. the 
mun who habitually crosses railway 
trucks without giving a thought to 
‘trains. To the vast majority of men 
and women, the sight. of a railway 
track crossing a-.road brings to the 
imagination a moving train which 
they know moves with unhesitating, 
undeviating surety according to an un- 
suspendable law of nature. © They 
know that under that law an object 


ing train will, when struck by it. be 
—brushed aside with results more or 
less disastrous to that object. In 
uiost cases the imagination sees what 
happens if a frail human body xt- 
tempts to impede the progress of 
the train, and reasonable people act 
with due precaution. As an aid to 
these the railways have adopted all 
ble safeguards and warnings at 
‘evel crossings, but there are still hu- 
5 man beings whose imagination appar- 
ently can never be stirred and who 
st in walking into certain disas- 
. ter as unconcernedly as they would 

walk into their own homes, — 
A curious case of this kind was re- 
rted from an Ontario town Jess than 
: .: @ month ago. Asan electric radial

‘ driven ey a local farmer came along 
the road towards the track. Passers: 
sby saw the radial car coming up and 
heard its whistle as well as the ring- 
{ng of the crossing bell that auto- 
-muatically warned of the car’s Ap- 
proach. Despite the efforts of a wit-

wife and childrem were with him in 
‘@ motor car. On that occasion. his 
wife was injured amd his car badly 
smashed. He then sued the company 
| for damages, but failed to get a judg- 
ment as it was shown that he had 
been extremely careless. 


A large percentage of level cross- 
ing accidents happen in just this way, 
and railway men are continually. as- 
tonished by the persistence with 
which drivers of motor cars and 
horses dash over the ¢rossings in ut- 
ter disregard of the possible approach 
of trains. It is a fact that an amaz- 
ingly large percentage of accidents 
are caused by motor cara hitting moy- 
ing trains, instead of being hit by 
them, sure evidence of utter careless- 
ness on the part of their drivers, At 
Mattawamkeag, in May last, a motor 
ear dashed into the last of 23 cars 
that were moving over the crossing ut 
the rate of four miles an hour, car- 
tying away the rear steps of the cur. 
At Cote Des vibe Que., crossing 
recently, disregarding the engine’s 
whistle, the ringing of the electric 
alarm bell, and the frantic waving of 
a watchman stationed at the crossing, 
a motor car only managed to get 
across the tracks, with nothing worse 
than a broken wheel because the en- 
pincer had seen the cs in

-It has been proved in a court of law 
that motorists equally with railroads 
are expected to observe caution at 
level crossings. At Cleveland, Ohio. 
last winter, a train struck a: motor 
truck, and while no lives were lost, 
the locomotive was damaged. To 
set an example to careless drivers the 
railway company sued for the daim- 
ages sustained and was awarded judg- 
ment for the full amount claimed. 
In a recent letter to the Toronto 
Globe, W. J, Moodey, who is one of 
the pioneer motorists of Toronto, had 
the following to say on this subject: 
‘*To the Editeg of the Globe: Once 
again we pick the morning paper 
and read of another accident, ‘Auto 
hit by fast express. 
‘*Why will motorists continue to 
take chances? [I antonipanat no dri- 
ver should attempt to cross a railroad 
until he has a clear view. Do not 
place too much confidence in the bell 
ringing. It may be out of order. ° -

BANFF Indian Day—always the third. Monday and 
Tuesday in July, was this year the most successful of 
its kind ever held in the thirty-two years since its inaugura- 
tion. An atmosphere of festivity prevailed the two days the 
tribe of six hundred Stoney Indians were at Banff, the cen- 
tre of that most beautiful part of the Canadian Pacific 
Rockies. : 

No place in the world could have a more perfect setting 
for an event such as this, and what could be more picturesque 
than the Tschantoga Indians “people of the woods,” in 
their native costumes amid these Great Hills. There is a 
dignity and. pgis¢. to these people of the woods — calm, 
strong faces yy th character written in every line and seam 
of their countenances. ; 

The parade started at ‘nine thirty, and circled areund the 
Thain street twice before going to the Banff Springs Hotel. 
The streets en route to the hotel were thronged with resi- 
dents and tourists, and the steps of the hotel and court were 
packed with onlookers, for the distribution of prizes 
for the best native costumes took place here. The Governor 
‘General and Lady Byng, who were on their way west over 
C.P.R., were among those who viewed the proceedings. ‘|
